Category Archives: County Committee Meeting

Its time for our first Maui County Committee Meeting on May 7th 2017 at Maui Waena Intermediate School 3:00-4:30pm

Business to be handled:

Updating the Maui County Bylaws. (See amendments at bottom of post)

Confirming Committee Officer appointments

Confirming appointment of SCC Maui At Large Male Rep.

Per the Maui County Bylaws our County Committee should hold regular meetings at least once every three months. County Committee Membership consists of the following: County Officers, Precinct Presidents, District Chairs and Chairs of Official Party Caucus. This is currently around 47 members and we need 40% of those to establish Quorum. If you are a County Committee Member and not willing to attend quarterly meetings please consider another position within the Party so we can have an active County Committee. The bylaws also state that County Committee members with valid excuses for nonattendance may give their proxies to the Chair of County Committee or their District Chair. If you wish to proxy please send an email to Recording Secretary Ben Wilson at Secretary@MauiDemocrats.org Include your name, position and wether you wish to proxy to your District Chair or County Chair.

Proposed amendments to Maui County Bylaws:

Amendment 1. Article II Section 1.2 – Add “Maui County” to clarify that only “”….Maui County’ Members of the State Central Committee shall constitute the Executive Committee and Maui County Committee.”

Amendment 2. Article II Section 2.2 – Add “District Councilperson” to clarify that “Should a District Chair, Precinct President or ‘District Councilperson’ be elected as a Maui County officer, that person shall automatically vacate the lesser office.” Notes: This would make our Maui County Bylaws mirror the State Bylaws Article 2 Section 2N.2

Amendment 3. Article IV.3 Remove the words ‘due to death or resignation’ in first sentence. Notes: This allows the County Chair to appointment Committee Officers for positions that were not filled at the County Convention and does not limit appointments to filing vacancies only ‘due to death or resignation’ as its currently written.

Amendment 4. Article VI.2 Add second sentence: “Proxies shall be in writing and filed with the Recording Secretary.”

Amendment 5. Article IX Section 3. Add “Maui County” two times to clarify that only “‘Maui County’ State Central Committee members…. and ‘Maui County’ elected officials shall be delegates to the Maui County Convention.”
